Abstract (en)

[origin: US2007097648A1] To achieve optimal thermal contact between opposing surfaces, it is necessary to align such surfaces so that maximum contact is achieved. In a semiconductor package, it is necessary to align the surface of a semiconductor integrated circuit (IC) and a heat sink surface, where the heat sink contains a nano-composite wire structure. By using a self-aligned structure that forces the alignment of the IC surface and the heat sink, maximum thermal contact between the two surfaces is achieved. The self-alignment of a pressure measurement device for same is also disclosed.
